2 Timothy 1:5~~ When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.
It was such a joyful surprise to receive a phone call on Sunday afternoon after church that Richard's sister, Diane, and her family were in Gulf Shores and invited us to come over. What a blessing to go and visit with Mike, Diane, Rebecca, Joanna, Melinda, Rob, and Baby Mataea.
Mataea is Rob and Mindy's firstborn and Mike's and Diane's first grandchild. Richard and I were able to connect with that excitement! She is 2-months old today (October 8) and just so-so cute with that curly 
black hair and big blue eyes. She looks so much like Melinda did as a baby. We rejoice with the family on her birth and thank God for the precious privilege of seeing Mataea and her loving family on Sunday afternoon.
As the verse from Timothy speaks about, Mataea is blessed to have a strong Christian heritage. We shall pray that she will grow in the nurture and admonition of our Lord and call upon Him for salvation at an early age.
